Chairman’s Letter to Shareholders “Our transformation into a full-service alternative communications provider is progressing well”. It’s not easy to tell shareholders that their company did not make a profit. For the first time, the Group recorded a loss after tax and after minority interest of RM6.80million for fiscal year 2008. This was mainly due to an increase in infrastructure costs, provision of diminution of investment in an associated company and unrealized foreign exchange losses for inter- company loans.On a positive note, amidst intense competition, we achieved revenue of RM109.99 million which is highercompared to the preceding year. This underlines the Group’s ability to offer services and products of highquality that continue to appeal to customers.We made good progress in repositioning the Group. I am happy to note that we are well on our way toestablishing ourselves as a communications company providing a full suite of core offerings around Data,Mobile, Voice and Content.We are very excited with the growth prospects in the Data business. We now already have several hundrednew customers using our Data services and there are clear signs that the customer base will increase.We see great potential in the Mobile and Content markets and our entry at this stage via several ventureswill place us in a good position to tap this potential.The global economy is presently going through a very trying period. The domestic market remains highlycompetitive. We will need to be prudent with our investments and use of resources but yet aggressive withpursuing the new positioning. Your Board and management understand fully the challenges ahead.I would like to take this opportunity to extend my appreciation to my fellow board members, the managementand all employees for their hard work and dedication.Thanks also to our shareholders, customers, businessassociates and partners for their continuous support and confidence in the Group.DATO’ LARRY GANChairman 11

Group Managing Director’s Letter to Shareholders “We are consolidating and aligning our operations as part of the remodeling process.” The telco industr y went through another challenging year which further reinforced the importance for us to maintain our innovativeness and ability to quickly adapt to changing market needs if we are to compete successfully in the marketplace. Our unwavering commitment in taking the Group to the next level as a telco provider with several core services yielded encouraging results in the 12 months under review. We grew our Data business in Peninsular Malaysia into a profitable one. The SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) and SMIs (small and medium- sized industries) that we are targeting clearly are looking for an alternative for their Data requirements and we have been able to meet their needs with our specially tailored packages. For East Malaysia, we went full steam with our preparations to bring our WiMAX service there ahead of the August 31, 2008 deadline set by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission. We subsequently rolled out REDtone WiMAX in Sabah on August 20, making us the first in the country to offer high speed wireless Internet access via WiMAX technology to the corporate and SME sectors in East Malaysia. We expect to extend our REDtone WiMAX offering to Sarawak by the end of 2008. After months of intense negotiation, we finally sealed our collaboration with Celcom to be a mobile virtual network operator or what is commonly referred to as MVNO.This initiative, our first under the Mobile business, will see us offering a wide range of mobile services such as SMS, MMS, GPRS and 3G to post-paid enterprise customers, a segment that we are particularly strong at. These services will be marketed under our REDtone brand. In the Voice segment, fierce competition amongst the players continued to affect our margins. Nonetheless, our ability to add value to our offerings together with exceptional customer service enabled us to maintain a very strong and loyal customer base for our Voice services. We teamed-up with Club Excellence (M) Sdn Bhd to form a joint-venture company where we have a 61% stake to expand into Internet TV. Marketed under the DETV brand, it signaled the start of our Content business. DETV offers an alternative channel for consumers to enjoy non-stop entertainment on their TV via broadband Internet connection and a simple Internet home gateway. We recognized the need to consolidate our operations to ensure we remain on track in rebuilding our business.Towards this end, we undertook a share swap deal where we exchanged our 100% stake in VMS Technology Limited for a 19.5% equity in Hotgate Technology Inc, an Internet-enabled service provider. Hotgate Technology Inc is listed on the OTCBB (Over-The-Counter Bulletin Board) in the US. We ceased our TravelFon operations due to a change in market conditions which no longer made the business viable. Of significance is our proposal to inject our Data business into eB Technologies (M) Sdn Bhd, a wholly- owned subsidiary of eB Capital Bhd. This will enable our Data business to fully realize its potential as eB is licenced to operate the 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz broadband spectrums. In return, we will increase our stake in eB from the current 23.17% to become a major shareholder with over 60%. Looking ahead, we have identified the Data and Content businesses as growth areas that can provide us with long-tail revenue stream. The Data market is set to continue growing and we are eager to have a slice of this pie as we are now in a position to offer a comprehensive suite of Data solutions.12

Group Managing Director’s Letter to ShareholdersThe government’s push for a higher broadband penetration in the country coupled with an increasingnumber of homes subscribing to broadband service will augur well for DETV.We will continue to innovate as this is crucial to our success in the future. Besides carrying out R&Dactivities as planned, we also created an innovation framework.This framework provides a platform for ouremployees and business partners to contribute their ideas and will continue to assist us as we sharpenour competitive edge in this area. For financial year ended 31 May 2008, the Group spent approximatelyRM2.26million on R&D.On our overseas operations, we are taking a cautious position as our focus is to first strengthen our operationsin Malaysia. In China, we will continue to build on our e-commerce and Data businesses while for Pakistan,we will continue to seek out investors who will be able to add value to our business in the republic.As and when we see a need to further consolidate our operations, we will do so.I would like to conclude by saying a big thank you to all our shareholders and everyone who supportedus as we remodel the Group to make it stronger.WEI CHUAN BENGGroup Managing Director 13
